Can't remove headlight..

I can't remove the right headlight on my 97 2g. the far right bolt doesn't come out, it just keeps spinning. Any suggestions as to how to get that bolt out? I was thinking chop it with a saw or something, and then getting the remaining shaft out with a vise grip, but the tricky part is getting something small enough that will get into that small space. What would you guys suggest I do?

Are you sure you aren't cranking on the adjuster? If it is the correct bolt then an air cut off wheel is probably about the smallest thing to get in there.

I agree on the cutoff wheel. The only downside to that, is you'll most likely end up melting some, or most of the tab from the heat.

ok, I'll try to get my hands on a cut-off wheel. Yea I'm sure it's not the adjuster, it's the actual bolt. Thanks.
